and Best Productions.
FOUR TYPICAL PICTURES

our pictures, which are certainly to be
ranked among the finest of the gentle
mans productions-indeed, not few
to whom they have been privately ex-
nibited have expressed the belief |
that they are the best efforts
Of the artist. These pictures
claim particular attention, and
are of more than passing interest be-
cause they are local scenes. They are
named respectively: THE South
at the Sand Dunes, "
The East Shore-After Glow on the
Wasatch, 1.-The West Shore-Loeking
Across the Davis Strait" The North
Shore-The Cliffs at Promontory, and
as is indicated by these titles, are
scenes of the Great Salt Lake, which the
artist has explored so frequently, and
which has yielded so many rich treas
ures for his canvas.
Mr.. Lambourne for years has made
the Lake, the islands therein and the
scenery surrounding, an especial study,
and he enjoys the distinction of being
the only artist living who posse. ses
such an accurate knowledge of this
wonderful body of water. That his ex-
cursions were not without profit has
been evidenced many times in the
past by the gems of art given to tn
public, and of which portions of the
Lake have been the subjects.
1t has remained. however, for the
artist to eclipse himself in his four
latest productions.
THE SOUTH SHORE" is q morning
view, and is taken from point about
half mile east of Profile Rock; in the
foreground is the vegetation so prom
inent Whereabouts, and further away,
along the shore. are the white sand
dunes of peculiar mound like shape
that have always attracted so much at
tention from the excursionists to the
lake, To the left, ProfileI Rock, faithful
to the old original, rears its head; still
further away, Black Rock thrusts its
peculiar form through the water; in the
extreme distance is Stansbury Is
land, shrouded in the beautiful
atmospheric haze peculiar to The
lake and the islands; between
Black Rock and the Island stretches
the beautiful water of the lake, to
dark, deep beautiful blue, gradually
nears the shore. To the right is Ante
lope Island, bathed in the light of the
rays of the rising sun, and the many
points of this historic spot, as seen
from the southern shore, are faithfully
portrayed.
THE North SHORE" is an entirely

iustration of the varied scenery to be
found on the coasts. Here rough,
scanned. jagged and picturesque rocks
protrude far out into the lake, one por-
ton of which, dashed and beaten by the
waves perhaps for centuries past, is
broken away from the main land. and
stands out triumphantly alone. In
the foregI ound are the water SCARED

of the peaked mountains many miles
away, whose sharp points and angu-
iarities are modified by the same de-

able in other efforts by the artist.
THE WEST SHORE" is q picture that
must attract attention wherever seen
both from the excellence of the work and
the novelty of the subject. The sketch
was taken from Strong's Knob. In the

waves gently ripple. In the middle dis

the bay, arises high reef-the terminal

mountains and these have been
worn into wIerd and fantastic
shapes by the action of the waters.
Beyond these, half-env eloped in the
clouds, the sun is sinking and across
the jagged peaks and sombre crsYlces,
the brilliant rays are thrown, lighting
the reef into wild aud wierd grandeur
and shedding path of fire across the
blue water. Away to the right the
shallow waters gradually fade away
in color until the shore line is reached
1t is a picture OF utter deselation. and
yet so successfully treated as to make
scene OF grandeur as fascinating as it / s
lonely aud drear.
THE EAST SHORE, shows the waters
OF the lake in the foreground in one OF
the many peculiar, yet beautiful phases
that make this body so attractive TO
the artist; here is shown Hat Island.

distance arise the red and
precipitous, picturesque cliffs known as
the Willard Mountains, whose lofty
peaks still hold here and there patches
of snow, and sre brilliantly lighted up
by the setting sun with a splendor that
contrasts gravely with the dssd rocks
of Hat Island and vicinity, and the
blue shadows of the coming night.

the works, and as they will be on ex
